France Sports Minister Laura Flessel said Thursday that it was possible the European nation would skip the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea due to security concerns stemming from aggression on the part of North Korea, reports Reuters.

The games, the first Winter Olympics to be hosted by an Asian nation, are scheduled to take place Feb. 9-25 of 2018 just 50 miles from the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.
